Land Development Activities

As a result of increasing public awareness and concern for the continued loss and degradation of our natural resources, land development preject management has become exceedingly more difficult. Government's response to a renewed emphasis on environmental protection has manifested itself in a more thorough effort to enforce existing laws and the creation of new, more stringent controls. This response has, at times, been viewed by business and industry as an additional impediment to completing their projects within a reasonable time frame.

Since it is apparent that environmental considerations will not diminish, smart management would factor them into the project as early as possible to avoid delays in plan processing and permit application review. Unfortunately, that does not always occur. When it doesn't, confusion results, delays occur and costs escalate.
